We all know that to americans british people sound quaint and to british people, americans sound uneducated. Or at least that has always been my impression of the situation. Obviously sitting on one side of this cross-pond friendly cultural stereotype contest, and supplied with a seemingly endless supply of local content (in the form of british volunteers) i now present you with a new short-entry series: funny things british people say. The first is slightly contectual but still very british. From my friend helen:

“When you get a chance you should try roast parsnip.”

Turns out parsnip is like english turnip but not quite. Of course anything of this sort shared while living in kenya is quite comical even without coming from a brit. Gourmet cooking? Right, I will Gdt right on it.
